Village Council Accepts

Tender For Cement Walk

The regular monthly meeting of the

village council was held on Tuesday
evening of this week in the Fire Hall.
In the absence of Mayor W. J. Wood,
Councillor W. A. Hurt was in the chair.

A communication was received from

Stirling Jones with reference to village
taking dependent’s allowance on child

in Provincial Training School at Red
Deer.

A communication was also received
from Sanitary Inspector in connection
with spring clean-up, and stating the
nuisance grounds needed attention and

signs be posted up as a warning to
citizens

dumping refuge everywhere
and anywhere before reaching the nui-
sance grounds proper.

A communication from the Depart-
ment of Municipal Affairs gave ap-
proval of J. W. Halton being appointed
village auidtor for 1943.

Tender for building a cement side-
walk from Wood's Garage to Curling
Rink from Carl Becker, was accepted
with the understanding that washed
gravel would be used for 6-inch sur-
face and the fill be made with local
material.

Following a report of the cemetery
and park committee, Councillor H. A.
Bannister suggested to the meeting
that the Rosebud Municipality council
be approached with reference to mak-
ing a parking place for cars alongside
the road on the north side of the
cemetery and the heap of dirt now
lying within the cemetery be hauled
to make a fill-in.

The chairman on behalf of the street
committee stated the streets at the
north end of town were graded ready
to be gravelled and that a steel cul-
vert 24 ft. by 24 inches had been taken
over by the Rosebud Municipality.

Construction Going Ahead
On Olds New Hospital

The first carload of lumber for the
Olds Municipal Hospital has arrived.
The footings were put in last week
and pouring cement for the foundation
will get under way Monday morning.

The bond issue of $50,000 for the

fhospital has practically all been dis-

posed of locally, thus saving the com-
mission usually paid to bond houses.

The Rosebud weed inspector wishes
to warn farmers of the district of the
increasing spread of wild mustard par-
ticularly along roads and fence rows.
This is a dangerous and troublesome
weed and will become a serious men-
ace in a short time, unless it is check-
ed NOW.

Crossfield as is usual on the open-
ing day of the Calgary Stampede, was
like a deserted village. Just once in
a while one noticed a store clerk look
outside to see if there were any cus-
tomers in sight. But Bannister could
not stand the ordeal and about 4.00
o’clock locked his door and joined the
rest of the crowds at the Stamipede.

. * * * . .

The Tredaways arrived home Mon-
day last from their trip north which
was not without its excitements, in-
cluding that of attempting to visit a
dance hall and,on their way they got
stuck in a mud hole in the pouring
rain which necessitated them staying
in the car all night on the road. But
after all, that’s only one of the joys
of a motor trip.

Canada's Growing Navy

THERE HAS BEEN wide spread interest in the addition to the Cana-
dian Navy of four escort destroyers, a gift of the United Kingdom. Our
navy has undertaken to protect the western half of the North Atlantic con-
voy routes, and these ships will be of great assistance in carrying out this
task. They will be appreciated by Canadians not only for their very great
usefulness at this time, but also as a further sign of Britaiy’s desire to
support the Dominions in all possible ways. It is also an acknowledgment
of the confidence of the British government that the officers and ratings
of the Canadian Navy will use these ships effectively in the war against
the powerful U-boat menace. Named after four Canadian rivers: the Sas-
katchewan, the Kootenay, the Ottawa and the Gatineau, there is no doubt
but that these ships will give valiant service in protecting supplies and

war materials bound for Britain.

* * * * ¢

: The growth of Canada’s naval power since the
Canadian Navy beginning of the war has been amazing, and it
° represents an achievement of which we may be
Is Expanding very proud. At the beginning of the war, Can-
ada's total naval personnel was 1,700, which is less than the number of
men required for one battleship. Today, there are 60,000 men in the navy,
and Naval Minister Macdonald recently announced that by next year this
number would be increased to 90,000, which will make it equal, on the basis
of manpower, to the pre-war strength of the Royal Navy. The number of
ships has also increased rapidly, and at present the Canadian Navy has
over five hundred fighting craft, including destroyers, corvettes, submarine
chasers, mine sweepers and other vessels. It is believed that two more
British destroyers may be added to the four which have already been given
to us, and it is also believed that Canada will shortly build several aircraft
carriers.

The Atlantic ships and men. Many Canadian sailors are from
the Prairies, and few have had previous naval experience, yet they have
proven themselves capable of carrying out this important part in the Battle
of the Atlantic, and great credit is due to them; as well as to the workers
who have produced the ships which they man. It is clear that Canada
now occupies a place of importance as a naval power and that it is play-
ing no small part in the hastening of an Allied victory. It.is expected that
there will be little reduction in the strength of the navies of the Allied
Nations in the years following the war, and we may look forward with
interest to the future of the Canadian Navy.

BEALTH LEAGUE OF CANADA
THE MINERALS IN OUR DIET

We hear a great deal about vitamins in our diets these days but we
must not forget the mineral content of our food, The minerals are im-
portant in the proper formation of our bones, teeth and body tissues. When
we have an insufficient amount of minerals these parts of the body are
weakened or diseaséd. Calcium is necessary for blood clotting and for
strong bones and teeth. Phosphorus is responsible for a healthy nervous
system, Iron is necessary for the formation of the red blood pigment and
it protects us against nutritional anemia. Copper aids in the utilization of
iron. .
Milk is our richest source of calcium and we should include three
glasses of it in our daily diet. Cheese has a higher percentage of calcium
than milk as it is a more concentrated food, so if we could add @ small
amount of cheese to our daily menus it would be to. our advantage; cheese
is an excellent meat substitute. Other foods we should eat for their calcium
content are beets, turnips, cauliflower, carrots, celery, asparagus, and beans.

When we take milk for calcium we will also get a fair amount of
phosphorus. Lean meats, fish, eggs, cheese, nuts and whole wheat cereals
contain appreciable amounts of phosphorus.

Liver, pork or beef, is an excellent source of iron so we should be on
the lookout ‘for new appetizing recipes for cooking it. Other organ meats
such as heart, kidneys, sweet breads are also high in iron, Dried peas
and beans, eggs and molasses are good sources of iron,

We will get sufficient copper from many common foods,

The lack of iodine causes goitre which is found in the inland provinces,
Nowadays it is possible to buy table salt which has iodine added to it so
we should use iodized salt all the time especially when we have little or
no salt water foods,

We should bake and steam vegetables not only for the vitamin preserva-
tion but also for the mineral content. Because a certain amount of the
latter is lost in the cooking water we should cook vegetables in as little
boiling water as possible and for as short a time as possible. Never throw
the water away! You can use it for making cream soups, gravies, and
sauces. You should boil leafy vegetables about 5-10 minutes, root vege-
tables such as turnips, parsnips, carrots 20-30 minutes, beets as much as
45 minutes depending on their size.

Protein For Poultry

Is Going To Present Problem For
Raisers This Year

Never before have producers been
obliged to worry as to just where
they would get this or that ingredient
in order to blend suitable live stock
or poultry rations. Proteins and car-
bohydrates and minerals and vitamins
have all been discussed in an aca-
demic or detached manner. Millers
and feed manufacturers have pretty
well taken care of the situation, but
the protein shortage is now so acute
that poultry raisers will have to settle
down and to a very large extent,
solve the problem themselves.

It is not a simple problem to solve.

Animal and vegetable proteins are)

both required, and how to get these
in sufficient volume to develop and
maintain in production the unprece-
dented hatch of chicks this year is
something that calls for keen intelli-
gence and outstanding farm man-
agement.—Farmer’s Advocate.

HAS SIXTH SENSE

‘In her four centuries as a world
power, Britain has developed and per-
fected a sixth sense of international
policy,” says the Portuguese paper,
Novidades, of Lisbon. It said the |
“sixth sense” enabled Britain to “‘fore-|
see’ instinctively and intuitively the}
evolution of events.”

For 13 years, the annual increase;
in Russia’s population has been 2,000,-
000. Total population is now esti-|
mated at 170,000,000.

Aircrew Training

Men From Various Parts Of The
World Make Up The Student Body

A navigator who saw action against
the Japs in the Aleutians, three sol-
diers who returned to Canada for
aircrew training, two air force ser-
geants and an airframe mechanic, all
repatriated to Canada for pilot train-
ing, Englishmen, Welshmen, Scotch-
men, an American and one Irishman
from Hire, make up an unusual class
of student pilots at No. 19 Element-
ary Flying Training School, Virden,
Man. It is a significant picture of
just what the British Commonwealth
Air Training Plan means.

Hailing from Arborg, Man., Flying
Officer Len Shebeski, who has re-
mustered from a navigator to a pilot,
spent a year in Alaska on bombing
missions against the Japs in the
Aleutians. ‘The men of my squadron
were flying and working under ad-
verse conditions but morale was very
high,” observed Flying Officer She-
beski when interviewed. “In @ year
of close contact with squadron mem-
bers, I never heard an angry word
spoken between the men.” Shebeski
lived on a farm with his parents for
23 years, takingga prominent part in
activities in the Arborg district. An
enthusiastic agriculturist and grad-
uate of the University of Manitoba,
he won the Canada Malting Cup at
the Provincial Seed Show in 1936 and
the Ian McPhail Trophy (Junior Seed
Growers), 1937. At the University of
Manitoba he won the Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor’s Gold Medal in 1941. A sister,
Rose Shebeski, serves in the Canadian
Women’s Army Corps.

Sgt. Derek Horne, 1527 Clive Dr.,
Victoria, B.C., in the Canadian Army
since the outbreak of war came back
to Canada for pilots’ training. Like-
wise, LAC J. V. Grott, Hanna, Al-

berta, traded the army khaki for air
force blue. and was repatriated to
Canada. Two years overseas with
the Canadian Army, then back to
Canada for pilot training is LAC J.
A. Stile’s service career to date. He
lives in New Westminster, B.C.

Two air force wireless operators,
Set. J. R. Smiley, Oxdrift, Ont., and
Sgt. J. E. Taylor, Athabasca, Alta.,
got their chance to fly when they re-
mustered overseas and recently re-
turned to Canada.

Up to now LAC George Goodwin,
Vancouver, B.C., turned his talents to
keeping aircraft in fighting trim
while overseas; his ambition now is
to fly ’em. -

The Best Time

Good Reason Why Farmers Should
Do Haying In Afternoon
To the old adage, ‘Make Hay While

‘the Sun Shines,’’ modern science has

added the indication farmers should
do their haying in the afternoon.

Preliminary studies at New York
State Agriculture college, reported
by Prof. Otis F. Curtis, show the food
content of alfalfa and other hay and
forage crops is influenced by the
time of day at which they are cut.

The reason, he explained, is that
all carbohydrates are manufactured
by plants from carbon-dioxide and
water only in the presence of light,
and “it stands to reason, as the tests
have shown, that the plant tissues
contain the most. food after a full
day of sunshine.”

TRAVELLED LONG WAY

R.C.M.P. Sergeant Made 28,000-Mile
Trip To Give Testimony

Sgt. H. A. Maxted of the R.C.M.P.
has returned to Vancouver after a
28,000-mile trip to testify against a
man on a charge of theft. °

His trip started last January when
he left Vancouver for Ottawa on 24
hours’ notice. A few days later he
was in Australia and then New Zea-
Jand where he was principal witness
in the case of Leo Edward Morland,
Australian mine manager who was
caught in Vancouver some years ago
with a large quantity of contraband
gold, and was subsequently jailed in
the United States.

Upon. expiration of his sentence,
Morland was deported to New Zea-
land, where he faced a charge of
theft of $120,000 worth of gold from

the Arahura Gold Dredging Com-|
pany. Morland had been manager of
the company before his arrival at
Vancouver. Thus when Morland’s |

trial opened in Christchurch, N.Z., it
was necessary for Maxted to testify.

Maxted travelled to Australia and
New Zealand by air
top travel priorities by both Canadian
and United States authorities. After
receiving instructions at R.C.M.P.
headquarters at Ottawa he flew south
and west across the United States,
then across the Pacific by way of
United States and British island bases
to Brisbane, Australia. From there

he travelled to Sydney and then to}

Auckland, N.Z. His return trip was
by a similar route.

of residential, industrial and traffic
development his full-time job.

He holds the chair of town planning |
at the University of London. He sat}
on the Barlow Royal Commission, one,
of the three official committees that,
have recently investigated the Frank- |
ensteins of misdirection in population, |
manufacture and agriculture, and
found that something drastic must be}
done about them in a hurry. As ad-
viser on planning to London’s muni-
cipal government, the London ve
Council, he soon will make important
recommendations on the physical fu-
ture of the Empire's greatest city.

Prof. Abercrombie cannot make his
report public before the L.C.C, has
had a chance to look it over, but in
a recent interview he explained some
of the personal convictions and the
personal aspirations for Great Bri-
tain that will help to shape its pro-
posals.

“Bombs, slums and the accumulated
waste of centuries of bad planning
or no planning at all will make it nec-|
essary after the war to surround |
London with at least 20 new cities,”
he said. ‘These cities should have
a population of roughly 50,000 each|
and ought to be within a radius of
25 miles of London itself in order to
remain within the central marketing
and transport area.

“Along with the million Londoners
who should be transplanted to them,
many of the factories that now sup-
port the urban population will have
to be shifted. In the rest of the is-
land it has been suggested that 80
more such “gatellite’ cities will be
needed to solve the parallel problems
of congested centres like Birmingham,
Manchester and Liverpool.”

Bold and costly as it sounds, Prof.
Abercrombie insists that his concept
of total war against “The Beast" of
sloppy land development can be jus-
tified on any grounds from humanity
to cash.

“Whether we like it or not,’’ he
said, ‘we face a tremendous period
of physical reconstruction. The ques-
tion we have to decide is whether
we're going to carry it through as
individuals or as a nation. Working
from a national pattern will not in-
crease the total cost, but it will bet-
ter the results.”

He suggested two possible applica-
tions of pattern reconstruction. St.
Paul's Cathedral stands today a
majestic oasis in a desert of rubble.
The devastated area around it repre-
sents some of the most valuable real
estate in England.

‘In rebuilding this area,” Prof.
Abercrombie said, ‘‘the system of
uncontrolled private enterprise would
mean that the man who owned the
site of a demolished bank would build
a new bank where the old one stood,
and the man who owned a ruined
store would build another store on the
original foundations. But who can
deny that traffic and trade factors
might make it advantageous to them
both and to the city to swap locations
before rebuilding?

“On this line of thought it has
been suggested that in reconstruc-
tion zones all property should be
pooled and reapportioned among the
original owners according to their de-
signs for redevelopment. I am in
favor of that. I am not in favor of
the outright confiscation of property
by the government, We are a race
of home-owners. I don’t think we
have to sacrifice that, but we will
have to sacrifice the almost unfet-
tered privilege of building stores
where we need apartment blocks and

apartment blocks where we need
stores.”
Transport must be faced in the

game spirit, Prof. Abercrombie thinks,
“The best roads in England were}
built 2,000 years ago by the Romans,”
he said, “and some of them have
lost much of their utility because we
have failed to control building.
“Look what has happened to Ox-
ford street. It should have been a
great, fast artery from East to West
London. But because we neglected
to harness building it has become
another crowded shopping avenue.
Now some of its greatest stores have
been wiped out by bombs. This gives
us the chance to say whether Oxford
atreet ought to be rebuilt as a shop-

questions, It only gave us our cue
to take them up before they got hope-
lessly out of hand.”

Because virtually every member of
Britain’s adult population shares this
last belief, town and country plan-
ning is one of the livest issues in the
country. The government recognizes
it as one of its first peacetime duties,
and has said so.

Labor Minister Ermest Bevin has
estimated that 1,250,000 workmen
will be kept busy in the building
trades for at least 10 years after the
war. But the cabinet, with other
things demanding priorities on its
attention, has thus far failed to ease
the general impatience for an offici-

| ally sponsored plan.

Lord Beaverbrook, speaking in the
Lords on @ motion to provide 30,000
cottages for farm workers, com-
plained that he was getting involved
with six different ministries—agri-
culture, town and country planning,
health, works, Scottish and produc-
tion. He might have added that at
least three others—labor, transport
and the exchequer—will have to have
their say before physical planning
can approach the stage of operations.

Radio Is Latest Rescue Device

A New And Compact Sea-Rescue
Radio Transmitter Is A Step

HE rescue of 19 victims of an Atlantic torpedoing was swiftly accom-

Collection

is well testified to by reports such a8) paper in Florence Nightingale’s leg-

that of the 19 survivors. Located by
a rescue aircraft, they were dropped
a transmitter; shortly afterwards
they were found by a Canadian de-
stroyer which had picked up the dis-
tress signal which punctuated the
ether with its insistent SOS.

The set, described by newsmen as
the “Coffee Grinder” is a small, in-
genious, waterproof and completely
foolproof radio transmitter, capable
of sending a signal up to 150 miles.
It derives its nickname from its ap-
pearance, strongly reminiscent of an
old time coffee grinder—but the
sturdy crank grinds no beans; it
whirls the generator which powers
the effective little machine.

It’s wasp-waisted shape is specially
designed so that the set rests easily
between the knees of the operator,
held fast by a broad canvas strap.

No knowledge of radio is required
to operate this latest instrument of
sea-rescue, and in this respect it is
absolutely foolproof. If you can turn
the crank, you can send an SOS. The
dial on the front of the transmitter
can be set so that an automatic SOS
signal is sent out when the crank is
turned. If the operator knows his
code, he can send out a complete
message, and for this a built-in tele-
graph key is provided. If the oppor
tunity to make a contact by visual
signal arises, this situation is neatly
taken care of. A signal lamp is in-
cluded, and like the code signal, can
be set for an automatic SOS or oper-

ible hand. Dated Feb. 8, 1888, it de-
scribes a coffee-house which she in-
tended to establish for the purpose of
enticing men away from the pubs.

The: letter is part of a Florence
Nightingale collection—only one of
its Kind in Canada—which was pre-
sented to the Vancouver General Hos-
pital School of Nursing by Miss Grace
Fairly, former superintendent at the
school.

Florence Nightingale knew her
men. She knew she must make her
counter-attraction good. “In all
coffee-rooms which have really an-
swered and attracted the men I have
known,” she wrote, “there has always
been some lady who has gone in on
occasional evenings and entertained
them. The best managed coffee-
house in London is controlled by two
women. They have plenty of infiu-
ence over a very rough lot. She thinks
of the coffee quality too. I would
promise: ‘Let the coffee be gqod’.”

Photographs and mementos of the
first British wer nurse are also in-
cluded in the collection which was
brought back by Miss Fairley on
various trips to England.

Included is the “Statements of
Voluntary Contributions received by
Miss Nightingale for the use of Bri-
tish Hospitals in the East, 1854-56.”
Among the contributions are listed:
Barrels of beer, raspberry vinegar,
Welsh wigs, remedy for frost bite and

tering Vine,” written by the lady

Aldis lamp. The signal lamp can be
strapped on to the operator’s head,
to leave his hands free.

The unit is complete in every detail
from the parachute to float it down
to the sea, to an ingenious built-in
aerial which is one of the factors con-
tributing to the set’s power and
range. The transmitter itself is pack-
ed in a canvas bag which carries the
parachute, and attached to that is a
cylindrical tube which’ contains all
the accessories. These include two

box kites for lifting the aerial aloft
if a wind is blowing, and two balloons
which are filled with hydrogen to take
the aerial up in still weather. Where
do you get the hydrogen? Easy—
generators are supplied, which, when
lowered into the sea will make enough
hydrogen to inflate the balloons to a
diameter of four feet.

The box kites would be a small
boy’s delight. They’re collapsible,
made of a water repellent material
and will carry the aerial aloft in a
seven to fifty mile an hour wind. The
aerial itself is wound on a reel which
has a brake to control the speed of
the ascent. It is built right into the
transmitter.

With its 300 foot antenna climbing
skyward the diminutive transmitter
can send forth its distress signal as
long as the sender can turn the
crank. A special system of lights in-
dicate the right speed at which to
turn the crank and to “tune” the set
into the correct frequency, which is
the international distress signal wave
length. From this signal, listeners
in coastal stations, ships and air-
craft, can determine the position of
the dinghy, and send swift rescue
ships and aircraft to the scene. The
transmitter will be carried on all
larger aircraft and planes on sea~
rescue patrol. When a dinghy is
sighted without a sea-rescue set
aboard, one is dropped by parachute
and the man in the dinghy can signal
to give a clue to his position. When
crews are equipped with the device,
they are able to establish immediate
contact and reduce to a minimum the
time spent at sea,

The adoption of this latest aid to
swift sea rescue means much to air-
men of the R.C.A.F., will reduce con-
siderably the potential number of
“dinghy hours’ at sea, and will be
welcomed by filers who have had the
experience of floating around for
many hours before being spotted and
eventually picked up.

NAZI U-BOAT CREWS
SHOW MENTAL STRAIN

Like To Stay in Port And Deliberately

Slow Down Repairs And Overhauls

Piecing together scattered bits of
information obtained in Sweden and
London, Nat A. Barrows, correspond-
ent of the Chicago Daily News, finds
evidence that U-boat crews are be-
ginning to show the effects of hard
ships and mental strain by deliber-
ately slowing down repairs and over
hauls as one way of keeping in port
longer.

Workmen in submarine bases both
in Norway and France tell how the
German crews hold up repairs by
efiticing them into card games, hid-
ing tools and getting in the way
when work is actually going on. Eye-
witnesses who have visited these sub
pens recently say that U-boat men
are developing open signs of distaste
and dread going back to sea for
more punishment inside the cramped,
stuffy compartments.

It is not rebellion against rigid
naval discipline so much as early in-
dications .of possible breakdown in
morale. In the First World War the
same indications foreshadowed the
German saturation point in under-
sea hardships.

Along with this slowing down of
port repairs by their own crews is
the significant admission by one Ger-
man naval writer, Adm. Gadow, in
the Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung that
the Battle of the Atlantic is going
against Germany and that “it is more
and more difficult for U-boats to at-
tack convoys.” In his attempt to
console the German public over the

fact that U-boat sinkings are de-|

creasing, Gadow explains that Adm.
Karl Doenitz “surely has something
new up his sleeve.”

The Germans probably have not
been allowed to know what Prime
Minister Churchill told the House of
Commons: that the first week of
June established a record for reduced
Allied losses by U~-boats.

Gadow is trying to prepare the
way for the ultimate discovery of this
fact by writing that German scien-
tists soon are going to find a new
way for increasing U-boat perform-
ance.

Can All Be Used

Collection Of Odds And Ends Will
Help Win War

‘This may sound strange but wo-
men and pack-rats have one thing in
common. Both bustle about collect-
ing odds and ends to store away for
@ rainy day which usually never
comes and which wouldn’t be bright-
ened much by the kind of knick-
knacks they collect anyway.

If you’vg always had acquisitive
tendencies, if you've spent a lot of
time packing away more than your
troubles in some old kit bag, then
listen this this. That rainy day has
come at last.

All the snips of material, the bits
of string, the worn out clothes you've
hidden away, can be put to a far more
constructive use than you ever im-t
agined. They can help win the war.

So go through your bags, your
dresser drawers and closets and
scrape up all the scraps you can.
Nobody wants you to give away any-
thing you or some member of your
family might use. It’s patriotic to

hang on to old clothes that can be|=

revamped-so you won't have to buy
new ones. But be relentless about the
rest,

That bit of silk you bought and
never made into a party dress for
your daughter; the children’s. bath-
ing suits long since outgrown; old
sets of table linens—they can raise
money for war relief, can comfort a
hospital patient, or make a dress for
a refugee child.

Sheets and towels, pillow cases and
tablecloths have a way of collecting
in every household. The sheets be-
come torn and you put them away for
future mending. The towels wear
thin, the tablecloths acquire an un-
sightly stain, or a ruinous cigarette
burn.

Besides, and this is the important
thing, hospitals can use those worn
linens for bandages. Time and use
soften the fibres, making them ab-
sorbent. And the more second hand
linen they receive the more new ma~
terial is released to care for soldiers
in army and navy hospitals and
through the Red Cross.

Banishes Dread Of Thirst And Cold
For Shipwrecked Seaman

A mug of cocoa made from water
distilied from the oily Thames was
handed up to me from a lifeboat yes-
terday. It was hot and tasty.

But it was much more than a com-|
forting drink—it was a sign that two}
of the shipwrecked seaman'’s worst
enemies, thirst and cold, had been |
conquered.

For the cocoa was made from water)
first distilled and then boiled on a|
small grey stove soon to be part of |
standard lifeboat equipment.

The stove looks like a small bath-|
room geysers. It burns almost any type |
of fuel—briquettes stuffed into odd
corners of the boat, damp wood,
paraffin—and distils half a gallon of
fresh water an hour.

Painted on the still are instructions |
on how to make hot drinks, to dry |
clothes, heat blankets—and an oily)
rag will give off a dense smoke sig-|
nal if burned in the stove.

Two men are chiefly responsible
for the new device.

|

They are Mr. James A. Mulhern, @
70-year-old. Liverpool engineer, and
Mr. George Keenan, a 38-year-old
Board of Trade surveyor, who lives
at Great Crosby, near Liverpool.

Their initials “K.M.’ have been
combined to give the device its name.

They worked for months, their
efforts sustained and energized by
the achievement of a chief engineer
who rigged up a still from a petrol
can and a biscuit tin and, burning
driftwcod, kept his crew alive for 19
days until they were rescued.

I was given other good news of}

to save life at sea.

to note, however, that amongst the
many supplies. delivered by Great}
Britain to their Russian ally is crepe |
rubber, the natural rubber. It is un-

where it is transferred to Russian

INVENTION A SUCCESS

New Type Punch Press Idea Speeds
Up Production Of Brass Washers
Through the invention of a new-

type punch press, Harold Ker, 46, a

Vancouver machinist fitter, is “get

ting his own back’ on a Nazi sailor

who knocked him down in an attempt
to escape from a Canadian military
escort there two years ago.

Ker was so badly hurt by the Ger-

man sailor that he was discharged
from the army, but he now is back
in the war as a machinist fitter in
a west coast shipyard, building fri
gates for the Royal Canadian navy
The new type of punch press which

he has invented increases by more
than 20 times the speed of produc
tion of washers needed in
manufacturing the handles of ships’
water-tight docrs.

Ker’s invention is regarded as so
important, naval officials said, that
the management of the shipyard re-
cently gave him a substantial cash
bonus and a letter of appreciation.
With his gadget, the cheerful ex
soldier can turn out 500 washers in
a morning, and often manufactures
more than 1,000 a day.

The Nazi whose furious blow altered
the course of Ker’s life was one of
the crew of a German cargo ship
captured in the spring of 1941 in
central American waters by a Cana-
dian auxiliary cruiser. The crewmen
were taken to Vancouver en route to
an internment camp, and Ker, a me-
chanical instructor in the army, was
on duty at the time escorting the
captives into an army establishment.

“One of the prisoners was @ huge
chap, about six-feet-two and built in
proportion,” Ker said. “I was stand-
ing in front of one exit door. Sud-
denly the big fellow broke away
from the group in the centre of the
room.

“He swung all the way from the
floor with his right fist and slugged
me across the side of my face. The
blow knocked me cold, and they told
me afterwards my head bounced
against the pillar on the way down

Ker was unconscious for 24 hours,
but within 30 seconds after the blow
which felled him the German had been
recaptured by others who over-
powered him as he sprinted from the
building.

The washers the machinists now
turn out were manufactured form-
erly on a drill press. The airtight
doors into which they fit are among
the most vital parts of a Canadian
warship. ;

The doors mean the difference be-
tween a ship’s sinking and staying
afloat after an enemy shell, mine or
torpedo causes water to flood into
one or more of the vessel's sealed-off
sections.

Safest In World

Lifeboat Designed By Englishman

Tested And Found Unsinkable

Ministry of War Transport experts
have described as the safest ship’s
lifeboat in the world the boat de-
signed by Mr. Francis H. Lowe, joint
managing director of the Lamport
and Holt Line. He claims that it is
unsinkable. Normal ships’ lifeboats
capsize if they have more than an
80 degree list. This boat rights it-
self from a 99 degree list. In tests
the. boat, which accommodates 55 pas-
sengers, was held under water, but
immediately pressure was released it
came to the surface. When released
from a list of 99 degrees it sprang
back on an even keel. Its drinking-
water tanks provide twice the amount
carried in a normal boat.—London
Times.

“Pulling the president” is always a coveted assignment among senior
locomotive engineers. Typical of the veterans who handled the train carry-
ing D. C. Coleman, chairman and president of the Canadian Pacific Railway,
on his recent western tour with W. A. Mather, Winnipeg, vice-president of

Charles Lewis Fletcher, of Saskatoon, shown above being congratulated by
President Coleman on a smooth ride.
C.P.R. as a fireman at Moose Jaw in 1905, went to Saskatoon as an engineer
in 1910 and has been on that division since. President Coleman renewed

‘According To Census

Greater Number Of Unmarried Men
Than Women In Canada

The Dominion bureau of statistics
has reported that final census figures
showed single persons constituted
54.1 per cent. of Canada’s population
of 11,506,655 in 1941, that Quebec
showed the largest number of single
persons in proportion to population
and British Columbia the highest
ratio of married persons,

The bureau said married persons
accounted for 41.2 per cent. of the
Dominion’s population in 1941,
widowed 4.6 per cent. and divorced
0.1 per cent. In 1931, 57.4 per cent.
of the population was enumerated as
Single and only 38.3 per cent. as mar
ried.

The actual increase in the num-
ber of married persons amounted to
|764,953 or 19.8 sper cent., while the
| number of single persons showed a
{much smaller increase over 1931 of
| 279,156, or only 4.7 per cent.

Single persons of all ages repre-
|} sented 60.3 per cent. of the popula-
tion of Quebec, and married persons
35.7 per cent. In British Columbia,
47.8 per cent. of the population was
married, and only 46.5 per cent.
single. Ontario also showed a large
proportion of married persons, with
45.1 per cent. of the population
enumerated as married and 49.4 per
cent. as single.

All provinces showed an increase
in the number of married persons
since 1931. The number of single per-
sons, however, declined in Manitoba
and Saskatchewan, and showed only
slight relative increases in Ontario
and Alberta.

The distribution by sex showed that
|of the 6,230,568 single persons in

| Canada, 53.3 per cent. were males, &
ratio almost identical to that in 1981.

Even doors and tables are now
made from layers of a low grade
type of corrugated paper,. sprayed
with resin and covered by an ex-

Paper-based plastics are also play-

In the world of electricity, paper,
owing to its non-conducting pro-
perties, is in ever increasing demand.
War necessitates the use of many
thousands of miles of cable, much of
it insulated with paper.

These are only a few of the war
jobs done by paper. To them should
be added the millions of shell cases,
bomb containers, washers, interior

CO-OPERATIVE CORNER

In the last installment I made a re-
ference to banks and other financial
institutions, also some of our profes-
sions. These references could be mis-
interpreted so I'll explain a little more.
It’s true as I said, that these Z

ations and professions are useless in
the production of the basic needs of
life. They enter the picture only in
man’s selfish struggle for monetary
gain. Tf all our commodities of this
world were produced solely for the
use of the people and not for private
gain, of what use woujd be the banks
and loan companies? If the health
of our people was backed by the coun-
try as a whole and if helpless ones
were adequately supplied with the
necessities of life, of what value would
be the insurance companies?

If the people of the world worked
for the benefit of the whole instead of
private gain, we would have very little
use for lawyers. Some maybe, but not
much. And if we had our country
run on a scientific and ‘business like
basis, of what use would be the pro-
fessiona) politician?

But now I’m getting too far from
the co-operative picture I'm painting,
so I must get busy again.

A few days ago I made a trip to
Calgary and having some spare time,
I paid a visit to the head office of our |
U. F. A. Central Co-Operative. I did
not have much time to spend with
Mr. Priestley, the general manager, as
he had some other work to do. But}
I had a good talk before I passed on |
to Mr. McCool’s office. I spent a very |
instructive and argumentive hour. qT)
wouldnt write about this if I didn’t |
know that he would be reading it.

Mr. McCool was M. P. for Crossfield |
during the U. F. A. government in Al-
berta so I was completely swamped in |
talking ability. Now from the safety |
of home I can give you my impressions |
of the leadership in our U. F. A. Co-
Operative. First, I think we have good ,
leaders. Second, our leaders have pro-
blems of which the members are mostly
unaware. Thirdly, our leaders have |
dealt in grocery stores for so long
that their minds lean a bit that way.
Fourthly, our leaders have become
aware of the terrible lethargy that has |
attacked our Co-Operative and are
willing to do something about it.

Fifthly, if our leaders and members
could get together more often and
everyone hear the things I have heard
from both ways, then I think our U.
F. A. would come to have a new mean-
ing. Sixth, I still don’t agree with
Mr. McCool on some things and I pro-
pose to keep right on that way. Sev-
enth, the U. F. A. is girding its loins
and something is going to happen.
Just what, I don’t know. I just got
the impression that the U. F. A. Co-
Operative is getting restless. Mr. Mc-
Cool gave me a few figures that might
be of interest to the readers. These |
figures are the increases of business |
done in 1942 over the year 1941, and!
are as follows:

For sixteen of the larger Co-Opera- |
tives stores in the province of Alberta
the 1941 sales were $1,479,724.55. The
1942 sales were $2,000,534.51; an in-
crease of $520,809.96. The figures of
the U. F. A. store in Calgary are as!
follows: 1941 sales $187,877.99. 1942)
sales $363,749.40; an increase Of $175,- |
871.41. The above figures are a repre-
sentative picture of the growth of the
co-operative movement everywhere. It
seems Also to be the result of a grow-
ing determination on the part of the
people to have control of those things
that go to make up their existence.

In the face of all this co-operatéve
growth, and although we want it to
grow as rapidly as possible, let us not
forget those private businessmen and
agents and even companies that have
helped and given us good service in
the past. But the old order must go.

‘Cost of Making Wheat
Alcohol Is Cut In Half

New processes are constantly being
developed which will reduce the cost
of converting farm crops into indust-
rial materials. An Associated Press
Dispatch reports development of a new
distilling process which into cperation
late in June and which it is claimed
will cut im two the costs of converting
wheat into alcohol to be used for war
purposes. It is claimed this develop-
ment will make wheat alcohol as cheap
to produce as molasses alcohol, This
process will save the United States
$50,000,000.00 annually in war alcohol
costs and at the same time will pro-
vide one billion pounds cf protein feeds
for livestock and for enriching human
foodstuffs In advocating establish-
ment of a Western Division of the
National Research Council, with fully
equipped laboratories, the Line Hleva-
tor Companies contend that the re-
sultant research will bring about erec-
tion of grain alcohol distilleries in
Western Canada, new industrial uses
and enlarged markets for farm crops,
and greater prosperity for the West-
ern farmer.

Says Re lhe
Has Enough Trucks

No more civilian trucks are required
for construction work on the Alaska
Highway, according to word received
by Walter 8S. Campbell, Prices and
Supply Representative, Wartime Prices
and Trade Board.

“The United States Army has made
available a number of heavy duty
trucks for transporting materials and
supplies,” Major R. J. Haffner, Exe-
cutive Assistant to the Division En-
gineer, has informed the Board.

“These vehicles, supplemented by
trucks owned or operated by the cons-
truction contractors, will satisfy the
trucking requirements for the rest of
the year,” it was announced.
